Corsica at 75,000 Euros per week offers one of the most compelling value propositions in the western Mediterranean charter market. The island’s thousand kilometres of coastline, including the UNESCO-protected Scandola nature reserve in the northwest and the extraordinary Lavezzi marine reserve in the south, are at their finest when approached from the sea, and a crewed charter yacht is the only way to access the best of both without compromising on either. The 13 yachts available at this rate from Corsica provide a diverse fleet of motor yachts in the 28 to 38 metre range and offshore sailing yachts suited to the island’s conditions.nnThe Corsican summer is reliably good for both types of vessel. The northwest coast’s libeccio and maestrale winds create consistent sailing conditions, while the south coast’s sheltered gulfs, particularly the Golfe de Porto Vecchio and the Golfe de Valinco, offer calm anchoring whatever the conditions outside. Water temperature by July reaches 24 to 26 degrees, and the underwater scenery at the Lavezzi reserve, with its white granite and extraordinary marine life, is among the best available without a long ocean passage.nnThe APA at 75,000 Euros per week runs 20 to 25 percent, adding 15,000 to 18,750 Euros for fuel, marina fees, provisioning and drinks. Corsica’s east coast marinas charge lower fees than Calvi or Ajaccio; provisioning from local markets keeps food costs below mainland equivalents. A full island circuit in seven days is achievable on a fast motor yacht; sailing yachts realistically cover the northwest and south as two complementary halves.nnFor guests who know what they want from a Mediterranean charter, Corsica at 75,000 Euros per week delivers more per day than any comparable destination in France.
